RE: Dyna's Misunderstood
i had the same mud slung at me when i rode a sporty (when it was stock). everyone would tease and throw jabs.by the end of my time with the bike, it was slammed, raked out with 16 inch apes and suicide clutch/jockey shift and most people were in awe when i rolled up. at the end of the day you can't listen to other a-holes, you need make your bike fit your style.

Bottom line, I think all Harley's have total respect from anyone that actually knows the brand and the product line. We're giving way too much time and discussion to those that don't.

RE: Dyna's Misunderstood
Noone's confused her for a Sporty yet, but someone at the gas station the other day didsay, "Hey nice Soft Tail!" When I looked over, I saw he was riding a crotch rocket...Nope, I said, she's a Dyna. He took a closer look, and seemed a bit confused. I told him, if you see the shocks, it's not a Softy. We got to talking, and then went out for a short ride around town. Like some others have said, as long as it's a bike, who cares...

RE: Dyna's Misunderstood
I like the Dyna's and the Sportsters. I don't like the softtails. BTW, I see a lot of girls riding the Heritage Softtails. That seems to be their bike of choice because of seat height.
I just consider my Dyna, a Sportster on Steroids. If I were a more "petite" fellow, I would have gotten one. That Nightster looks mighty good in my opinion.
Wife wants me to get something "Bigger" so she can sit back in comfort. Thinking about up-ing to a UltraGlide Classic with a Side Car.
Isn't it those "Softail" guys that plasters the "HUGE" Harley logos in their back windows?? Go Figure!!

RE: Dyna's Misunderstood
If you're unsure, read the air cleaner cover, if its been changed out, look at the cc sticker on the frame. If you don't have time to do these things, don't bother commenting...just friggen ask! Not like I care, but some of you seem to.
I bought my HD because I like the look and sound they offer, not to live the stereotypical life style, just to get out there, and have the power and look that I've come to love...If someone rides another brand/style/type of bike, they still get the wave from me. If they want to go out for a ride, my first questions are, "Where and when?" I've rode with other HD's, Honda's, Kawasaki's, Victory's, Triumph's, old ones, new ones, sporty ones, sh*tty ones, touring ones, tore down ones, it doesn't matter to me. Not everyone, including myself, starts on an HD. My first bike was a '72 Honda CB 250 in excellent shape. I loved that bike. I got a lot of good compliments about it. It just lacked the power I wanted. It started to become a love/hate relationship, and I got rid of her...Now, with my HD, I have a love/love relationship...
Just my 2 cents.
